DUNEDIN – The Blue Jays have added more depth to an already crowded bullpen with the signing Wednesday of right-handed pitcher Tyler Clippard.

Signed to a minor-league deal, the 33-year-old Floridian also received an invitation to major league camp and has already passed his physical with the team.

The Jays are clearly hoping that Clippard can recapture the form from earlier in his career, notably 2010 when he had an 11-8 record and a 3.07 ERA. A veteran of 11 major league seasons, Clippard struggled last season when his ERA soared to 4.77 with three teams – the Yankees, White Sox and Astros.

We've signed RHP Tyler Clippard to a Minor League deal with an invite to Major League #SpringTraining.
